Chapter 121: Chairman AsherCassian pulled out his phone right there in Miranda’s office and called Asher.The call connected almost immediately.“Come over,” Cassian said simply.There was a brief pause on the other end before Asher answered, “Where are you?”Cassian glanced at Miranda, who was watching him with a slight frown.“Ravencroft Company. Miranda’s office.”“I understand.”Cassian ended the call and returned the phone to his pocket as though he had only ordered someone to bring over a document.Miranda continued staring at him.“You just told someone to come to my office,” she said, her brows drawing together slightly. “Without asking whether I’m busy.”Cassian leaned back comfortably. “You called me here.”“That doesn’t mean you can invite people into my office.”“He won’t take long.”Miranda opened her mouth, then closed it again. There was no point arguing with him over something that had already been done. Besides, she was curious to see who Cassian had called so casual

Chapter 124: An Unexpected OfferAfter the discussion with Asher came to an end, the old man rose from his seat and adjusted his jacket.Cassian remained where he was, looking entirely relaxed, while Miranda stood as well out of courtesy. Even now, a part of her was still trying to understand what she had just witnessed. Chairman Asher had come to her office with a single call from Cassian, listened to him speak, accepted his decision without questioning it and was now preparing to leave as though there was nothing unusual about any of it.Asher took two steps towards the door before suddenly stopping.He turned and looked at Miranda.“Miss Ravencroft.”Miranda immediately straightened slightly. “Chairman Asher?”The old man studied her for a brief moment before speaking. “Would you be interested in establishing cooperation between our two companies?”For once, Miranda did not answer immediately.She stared at him, genuinely caught off guard.A cooperation with Asher’s company was not

Chapter 126: A Simple CorrectionDamien smiled at Cassian’s question.“I’m good.”Cassian gave a small nod before his attention shifted towards Jackson. The younger Harthwone was still standing on the training ground, completely soaked in sweat and breathing heavily. The moment he saw Cassian speaking with his brother, however, a little hope appeared in his eyes.A visitor had arrived.Surely that meant training was over.At the very least, Damien should allow him to rest while entertaining his guest.Unfortunately, Damien did not even look at him.Cassian noticed Jackson’s hopeful expression and almost laughed. “And him?”Damien finally glanced over his shoulder. Jackson immediately straightened, trying his best to look as though he had not just been silently begging for mercy.“He’s doing fine,” Damien replied calmly. “Still complains too much, but he’s improving.”Jackson’s face darkened.Fine?His legs felt like they belonged to someone else, his shoulders were burning, and Damien

Chapter 128: A Killing ArtDamien sat opposite Cassian inside the main house, still wondering what had brought him over. From the moment Cassian arrived, he had corrected Jackson’s training, watched the boy for a while and then followed him inside without explaining anything.Once they were seated, Damien finally asked, “What did you come here for?”Cassian ignored the question completely.He looked at Damien for a moment before asking, “How is your cultivation?”Damien paused, then understood that Cassian clearly had no intention of answering him yet. He did not insist. With Cassian, forcing a question usually achieved nothing anyway.“It has improved a lot,” Damien replied. His expression became more serious as he spoke. “Much faster than I expected. The technique you gave me is completely different from what I used before.”That was an understatement.The longer Damien cultivated with the method Cassian had passed to him, the more he realised how poor his former cultivation techniq

Chapter 130: Someone Was InterferingCassian left the Harthwone residence and headed back to the clinic.The rest of the day passed without any trouble. Patients came and went as usual, Jude handled most of the ordinary cases, and Cassian only stepped in whenever something required his attention. After the incident with the police, the clinic had returned to normal surprisingly quickly, and none of the staff seemed interested in bringing up the matter again.By evening, the last few patients had been attended to and the clinic gradually began to close. Cassian finished reviewing one final prescription, gave a few instructions to the nurses for the following morning and picked up his car keys.He usually returned home around this time, but instead of driving straight back, he headed towards Zora’s company.Recently, whenever their schedules allowed it, he would pick her up after work. It had become something of a quiet routine between them, even though neither of them had ever formally
